"Splash!"
A massive 8x8 explosion.
Ling Yi spotted a green skill book at a glance and picked it up first.
" Universal Version Mass Poisoning Technique (lv0): Applies Green Poison effects to all hostile targets within line of sight. The skill's strength and duration are determined by the Daoist magic."
Without hesitation, Ling Yi chose to learn the skill. Ling Yi was very satisfied with the newly added skill, "Mass Poisoning Technique."
Although it's a bit of a waste to give this skill to a warrior, since warriors' Daoist skills are really too low, or to put it simply, they have no Daoist skills at all.
However, Ling Yi needs the armor-piercing and healing-preventing effects of the Daoist's Mass Poisoning Technique party.
Many bosses in the game may not have much attack or defense, but they have long health bars and fast recovery speeds. You might attack them for a long time, only to find that the boss is at full health in the next second, which is really frustrating.
With the Poisoning Technique, Ling Yi can now solo some bosses that were previously too difficult for warriors to defeat due to their high Physics defense.
With this Mass Poisoning, plus the Clone Technique, Ling Yi no longer needed a team, and silently made a decision in his heart.
If Thor and Loki knew Ling Yi's intentions, they would definitely call him a "scumbag." Using someone and then discarding them—what else could he be but a "scumbag"?
In addition, a Mage weapon, Dragon Tooth, was also released.
Dragon Tooth (Requires 28 Divine Power to equip): Attack 10-18, Magic 3-6, Accuracy +5, Durability 20/20.
Ling Yi tossed the Dragon Tooth to Loki, picked up a few bottles of Sun Water, and continued searching for the next monster.
In the e-sports room, Loki was ecstatic, his mouth agape in a wide grin. He absolutely loved this weapon, especially its design, which was far more stylish than the Bone Jade Scepter.
Without a second thought, Loki immediately put it on.
The appearance of the new weapon excited everyone.
The weapons for Mage on this Map are so cool, what about the weapons for warriors and Daoists?
Soon, everyone made new gains: the warrior's weapon was the Wrath Slash, and the Daoist's weapon was the Carefree Fan.
Following closely behind, clothing items for the three professions were also revealed.
The warrior's Heavenly Demon Armor, the Mage's Rainbow Feather Robe, and the Daoist priest's Heavenly Venerable Taoist Robe.
The five of them have been strengthened once again. As long as they don't become too arrogant, they can definitely do very well in the first continent of the game.
After more than a month, most players in the game have reached level 20. However, the experience required for leveling up in the later stages of the game is increasing, so some players are focusing more on acquiring skills and equipment.
Through extensive research by numerous players, some techniques in the game have gradually been discovered.
For example, zombies in Zombie Cave drop skills, and Viper in Viper Valley drop Blessing Oil, Repair Oil, God of War Oil, and other potions.
The Zombie Cave in Viper Valley has a connecting passage that leads directly to the new Map, Centipede Cave.
In particular, once players discovered they could create guilds, some unscrupulous individuals were already preparing to cause trouble.
The atmosphere in the game gradually changed from harmonious at the beginning to cruel.
PK (player versus player) battles can happen anytime, anywhere. Players often engage in fierce combat, shouting and yelling, in order to grab equipment or monster spawn points.
Timid players began to tremble with fear, and the survival space for ordinary players was squeezed even more severely.
The tier differentiation among players will become increasingly apparent with the emergence of guilds.
Ling Yi and the others spent a week in Peach Blossom Garden, but eventually they couldn't take it anymore.
Even Thor and his companions were exhausted, as they hadn't had a single day of rest for over a month, and the Gao Qiang frequency of monster hunting had pushed them all to their Limit.
Ling Yi naturally noticed this as well, and with no new equipment appearing during this period, everyone became increasingly demotivated.
"Alright, that's enough for now!" Ling Yi knew there were definitely more good items yet to be found in Peach Blossom Garden, so he decided to keep exploring.
Moreover, he also planned to take this opportunity to disband the team.
"Your equipment and level are almost at the pinnacle of the game at this stage," Ling Yi said after defeating the last monster.
There's no point in continuing to form teams.
"Brother, do you mean disband the team?" Thor asked, somewhat surprised.
Loki didn't speak; he had actually wanted to leave for a long time, just as Ling Yi had said, their strength had reached its limit.
For Loki, who has always wanted to make a name for himself, following Ling Yi, while granting him immense power, also limited their individual development.
Loki wholeheartedly agreed with Ling Yi's words.
"Um!"
Thor was surprised, but not astonished. He knew that continuing to team up was less worthwhile than soloing. Besides, he needed to go back and help the others in Asgard level up, get gear, and build their careers in the game.
"Then let's all go back to town and log off. Take a good rest for a while. Also, I hope you Central City achieve great things in the game and become famous throughout the universe."
Ling Yi's words reignited the passion in everyone's hearts.
Afterwards, everyone returned to the city and logged off to rest and recuperate.
After returning to his villa, Tony went straight to his room to sleep. He was already at his limit, even with his level 36 stats boosted.
Only Ling Yi remained in the game, leaving the Peach Blossom Garden Map and heading straight for the Woma Forest.
Amidst the envious gazes of the players who witnessed the separation of the physical barrier, they traversed the Woma Forest, entered the White Sun Gate, and through the Demon-Sealing Passage in the upper left corner, entered the Demon-Sealing City.
Ling Yi needs to check if this version of MIR2 has the function of creating a second hero.
Creating a second hero would greatly enhance Ling Yi's character's strength.
To be honest, Ling Yi was a little uneasy.
He has already unlocked the skills Heaven Splitter Slash and Sun Chaser Sword Technique. In the version with hero combos, both of these skills would be combo skills.
Now that it's a skill exclusive to warriors, does that mean a second hero cannot be created?
When Ling Yi saw the old soldiers drinking in Demon-Sealing City, he immediately laughed.
Buying wine, having a conversation, completing the task—in just ten minutes, another warrior, Jiaoshe, appeared beside Ling Yi.
That's right, Ling Yi's second hero is still a warrior.
As for the reason, veteran players understand.
Warriors are melee attackers. If you choose Mage or Daoist as your second hero, when the aggro shifts to the second hero, it often results in an awkward situation where the Daoist or Mage kites the monster, the monster follows the Daoist and Mage, and the warrior chases the monster.
If they were all warriors, then there wouldn't be this problem.
Of course, if the first hero is a Daoist or Mage, then it doesn't matter.
"System, how do I get to the Second Continent?" Ling Yi asked.
The host is best advised to figure it out on their own.
"System, have you made a mistake?"
"..."
"The game isn't the goal; it's just a means for me to become stronger. Your goal is to help me become stronger, so taking it too seriously isn't good."
"Host, the system has its own rules, and you are within those rules."
"Whose rules?"
"System rules."
"You are the system."
"Host, I am merely the system's butler, like a servant."
"Who created you?" Ling Yi finally asked the question.
"Host, the system was created by accident; it's the result of an impossible probability."
"Then what?"
"There is no 'then.' Systems are products of probability, just as there was no life on Earth originally. Organic matter was born from inorganic matter under impossible circumstances, and eventually, it slowly evolved into the diverse and complex planet with life we see today."
"According to the system's calculations, it must have triggered some World Rule that led to the birth of the Marvel Universe, evolving from a fictional work into a real world."
"You mean, the Marvel Universe was created because of the system?"
"Theoretically speaking, yes."
"Is this world really real?" Ling Yi asked, frowning.
"Host, this world is real, you have no doubt about that. Everything is due to impossible probability events. Moreover, your Original World should also be significantly affected."
For example?
"For example, many movies, TV series, and novels Hua Wei real worlds. For instance, in the host's Original World, a large number of transmigrators will travel to these other worlds."
Ling Yi: "..."
"So, I might meet someone from my hometown in the Marvel Universe?"
"It might happen in the future, but the probability is very low, or rather, it's still an impossible probability."
Ling Yi rubbed his head, sorting through the system messages.
"Host, you can understand it as an impossible probability event causing certain Changes to the World Rule, thereby enhancing people's Power of Fantasy and bringing the Fantasy World from the Intangibility to the real."
"Fine, your so-called impossible probability event is indeed quite impossible."
"..." What could the system say? In her calculations, this was indeed an impossible probability event.
"However, the host was right before, everything the system does is for the host to become stronger. Does the host need to receive all the game's data?"
"No, you just need to tell me how to get to the Second Continent."
"The host can obtain array fragments by defeating high-level bosses. Once 100 array fragments are collected, Teleport Array Disk can be synthesized. After activating the Teleport Array Disk, the host can open the link to the Second Continent."
Ling Yi remained silent for a long while.
"Are you sure this is Legend setting?"
"This is my setting."
"You still insist you're not a system?"
"Host, this is somewhat different from your understanding. In reality, the system belongs to the host; I can only use the system's functions."
Ling Yi rolled her eyes. "I don't feel like I can control the system."
"Sorry, the system's status is somewhat special, but it does belong to the host."
Ling Yi stopped dwelling on the issue; knowing the system's origins was enough.
Are we still going to resist?
However, system, are you sure other players can implement this setting?
With this game's drop rate, it's been over a month, and most players are still using wooden swords. Can you believe it?
Collecting 100 Formation Pattern fragments is practically an "impossible probability event".
The first continent only has a handful of main bosses...
